Very lol. Once I gets the time to install these I will definitely be posting up some pictures and creating a thread. That way I can bring everyone through 1) the install process and 2) the comparing of OE parts and Ground Controls setup. Maybe what I'll do is take a video outlining the main parts, that way there is all kinds of media to be seen. The only thing is, I am gonna have to get over the cinema jitters haha. I hate being on camera.

Hopefully it will be before you (keithislegit) buy any products, that way the process is there and I'll have a review up as well so you can take in some info from that as well.

LOL. Oh yes, I live there. I can't start my day without a black 3 sweetener or end my day without a tea "double double" with sweetener.

I knew you were kidding, just going along with it lol.
DAMNIT now i need a coffee. Ugh. Theres definitely some sort of illegal narcotic in Tims that makes it so good and addictive lol.

I know for a fact the ride isn't the greatest but handling wise, I think they will do fine. I am expecting less body roll with these. We will have to wait and see. The real determining factor will be some autocross .

Yeah, but some of those Hondas handle like they're on rails. I know my little 91 hatch sure did! I hate to say it but for the 3 grand i spent on that car and the motor work compared to the 12g I payed for my RA, the civic would have blown the RA right out of the water

I know where your coming from but being able to adjust the ride height is what sold me. I have faith in ground control because I have seen them in so many vehicles. Mainly talons and ecplises actually. But they used the ground control setup on koni yellows.

So you're going to put those Ground control coils on kyb struts? Or stock struts? Will these ground control coils fit on the 04 lancer ralliart?

They will be going on stock struts. I don't plan on lowering that much, only enough to level out the front with the back when my subs are in. The back will be a .5" drop and the front probably like 1.2" or wherever it is when the car is level. The Ground Controls will fit on the 04, well thats what they say. Ground Control is making these for 02 - 07..

I believe as long as your not driving an evo they'll fit. I'm not trying to sound like I'm smart just saying that because i've read the forum and ralliart and es and oz's have the same suspension

Got mine online from Modern Auto Performance, it was a special order part so I had to wait a good while for them. It is much much quicker to get them from Ground Control directly. I think I payed, iirc, $360 for them. It was a little while ago now.

^^^Take Note^^^

For some reason people slam there cars on stock components and it end up costing them more then what they originally wanted. If you are going for the "hellaflush" look, be sure to invest in a set of struts.
